Keep practicing: Top 3 priorities. Organize for success. Follow the plan.

If you often find yourself working on things other than your priorities, examine your mindset (preferably in conversation with someone you trust):

·       In a more perfect future, how would I deal with low-priority requests or other distractions that put my own priorities at risk?

·       When I turn to activities that are not really a priority for me, what thoughts go through my head? What emotions do I feel in this moment?

·       What beliefs and/or values do I hold which drive these thoughts, feelings, and behavior?

·       How has this behavior served me in the past? In what ways is this limiting me?

·       What would I need to believe differently, to shift my behavior toward what I desire?
